“Hungarians have made history again,” said Peter Magyar in his speech after the polls closed.

“The attendance shows that more than six million Hungarians voted (…) The vast majority of Hungarians felt how important these elections are,” said leader Tisza, adding that “this is a celebration of democracy.
